The Cay

Thrill to this adaptation of Theodore Taylor's gripping classic novel! The Cay is the compelling journey of 11-year-old Phillip whose life is plunged into chaos when his ship is torpedoed, and he and a Caribbean man named Timothy escape on a crude raft to a deserted island. The young Virginia boy dislikes Timothy immediately because he is huge, very old and black. Blinded in the shipwreck, the boy's only chance for survival is to let Timothy teach him the skills needed for life on the cay. Soon he discovers that his companion is a wise and dignified man and that the color of one's skin does not determine a person's worth in the world. For grades 3 and up.
